Also if you spent money on an Ion you'd get most it back if you sold. Up the angel and you'll get a fraction back.

Its true that the depreciaiton of angels is seriously high... However I can see this happening with the Ion with all the other budget guns coming into play.

The spitfired angel will outshoot any Ion, regardless of an un-enforceable 15bps cap.

We all say all the other budget guns coming on to the market. The one they talked about the most was the Rail , but that is still £250 and the Ion you can get for around £145 which is still £100 cheaper. So I still think the Ion has a shelf life of a good few years. It is like mini discs they were good idea but everyone had CD's. The market is geared up for Ions and there are lots and lots of places to buy mods and up grades. I can't see people moving away from that and pushing other brands when the Ion is well under the table.

yeah- i did shoot an ion and thought it was pretty good! not used my angel in a game yet!
I'm looking to get a couple of guns to play around with so that in the summer when I know I like playing competitive pb I can upgrade big time to something amazing! Get a payrise in aug each year so allowed a big treat!!!! dont really think spending silly amounts on a gat is that clever till I actually get into playing often. I suppose at least with an ion I could sell it on!!!

So fish- pm me the prices for your ion and shocker!! whats the spec?? i know ion runs on LP- will the shocker too???;)
